So GTA VI is rumored to have a trans girl as a main character

On the one had, ok I don’t mind. On the other, I have a strong suspicion that shit’s going to hit the fan.

I am concerned specifically about the state of modern gaming as a whole and how it can cripple any potential Lucia has.

    Representation doesn’t make up for bad game design.

    It’s getting downvoted because the two are completely unrelated, making one of the main characters a woman has no impact on how the gameplay is designed, it’s certainly not a case where you can “prioritize” one over the other because it’s not like representation takes time away from the rest of development

    Also, we have no idea what the gameplay is like, so the comment just sounds like it’s assuming that the gameplay must be bad because it has representation which is utter nonsense

      Come on, how different could it be compared to the previous GTAs? (especially 5)

      At the end of the day it’s fundamentally gonna be the same: Stealing cars, shooting people, etc. I guess they’ll add new minigames and a new way to clear your wanted level, but yeah.

        Obviously the basic formula is gonna be the same, but we don’t know nearly as much about the specifics to just assume that there’s bad game design in it this early
